When I started a new gym routine I had no idea that a 74-year-old woman would be my motivation.

After 6 years on birth control, I was done with medication and all that came with it. But, this left me with no cycle for 10 months, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and get my period back - without a doctor.

New Year's should be a time of growth, a time where we can continue to be the best version of ourselves. Not a time of dieting, changing how we look and getting even further away from a healthy mind and body.
